Inspiration
The US leads the top garbage producers in the world. Thus it is absolutely necessary to think about what we "throw away". This is where our product's niche lies.
What it does
It scans the things you throw away and calculates the CO2 emission and gives an aggregated summary.
How we built it
We built it using react PWA frontend and python backend to get the image details from Clarifai API.
Challenges we ran into
Hard to get APIs for CO2 emission so had to scrape the data for few categories.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The app works smoothly and shows a real-time summary.
What we learned
Scanning the garbage gives out great insights and we got to learn trends.
What's next for CarbonScan
Providing a good suggestion-based engine to reduce the carbon footprint.
